How He Loves

Watch Video:

Take a moment right now- start the music video above and close your eyes where you are. Picture yourself outside your body, sitting there, with your eyes shut. But instead of picturing your kids running all around, coworkers laughing, TV blaring, or any other distraction.... picture Jesus sitting by you, giving you the most loving and sincere embrace. Isn't it amazing how you now visualize yourself smiling and peaceful?

He is faithful, loving, sincere, compassionate and affectionate. And He loves you more than anything....

Today and tomorrow, as you get distracted and irritated by scrambling to finish shopping, wrapping and planning... remember this. His love for you- that's all that matters December 25th, and EVERY day.

How He Loves by David Crowder Band

He is jealous for me,Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,Bendingbeneath the weight of his wind and mercy.When all of a sudden,I amunaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,And I realize just howbeautiful You are,And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh,how He loves us so,Oh how He loves us,How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us,Oh! how He loves us,Oh! how He loves us,Oh! how He loves.

We are His portion and He is our prize,Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,If grace is an ocean,we’re all sinking.And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss,And myheart turns violently inside of my chest,I don’t have time to maintainthese regrets,When I think about, the way…

(We had the priveledge of attending service this past Sunday at Amadeo in Gilbert. My sister performed a dance to this song with other women and children of the church. The dance, and song, have both stuck with me this entire week so far. Thank you, Amadeo, for visualizing how much He loves us. )

About Me

On September 25 2009, just before being listed for her new heart, she suffered a left MCA stroke, impairing her right arm abilities and taking away her speech. She was finally listed and received her heart after 97 days of waiting on May 17, 2010. Gabriellasheart.com has transitioned from a diary of our simple life to a log of Gabriella's status, and proves what a warrior she is.
